I voted Xenogears. God, I loved that game. I still own a physical copy of it, and well most of the great PS1 rpgs (damn, I regret selling Suikoden 2 for rent money!). Glad to see a lot released on Vita/PSP though, including Suikoden 1&2, two of my all time faves. Wish they had released the Star Oceans on Vita, but I do still own the discs. I just like having them for on the go.

*Edit- I also love that while not a sequel or part of the same world, Xenoblade Chronicles 1,2 & Torna are spiritual succesors from some of the same guys from Xenogears. You can really feel it in those mech fights. XB2 & Torna are some of my favorite jrpgs in recent memory. I know Xenosaga 1-3 on PS2 were also spiritual successors, and although I did like them alright, they're nowhere as good as Xenogears & XBC2 & Torna.

Thanks Videochums, I may have to pick up a used PSP sometime, those sadly never came to PSN for Vita. I had sold my PSP by the time it came out. Back when I used to impulse sell at Gamestop. Not happening this time w my Vita. I stopped selling stuff all together bc I've come to realize I like to revisit things and it's good to have that library when I do.

Xenogears. Man what an underrappreciated classic. I’ve rarely seen a game where all characters got some meaningful development. This game gave you everything. A vibrant world. Deep story. 2 Engaging battle systems between on foot or mechs. Customization.Hidden areas. Appreciation for Anime. Geez.

I agree. You have to give Grandia credit, it was a fantastic game. I just have to give it to Xenogears for my personal favorite. Xenogears was actually a failed story pitch for Final Fantasy 7, but I'm glad it got a life of its own and we got FF7 and Xenogears. PS1 is my favorite JRPG era. I hope to see a resurgance of classic style JRPGs on the Switch, since it will be carrying the torch of the 3DS anyways.
